Almajiri Deserved Equal Rights as their Counterparts in public Primary Schools!!!
ALMAJIRI
By Dauda Musa
is a system of Islamic education practiced in northern
Nigeria. Almajiri derives from an Arabic word, rendered "al-Muhajirun" in English transliteration, meaning a person who leaves his home in search of Islamic knowledge.
PRE COLONIAL ERA
This system of education started in Nigeria in a town named Kanem-Borno which had a majority of its rulers widely involved in Quranic literacy. More than 700 years later, the Sokoto caliphate was founded by a revolution based on the teachings of the Qur'an. Sokoto caliphate and Borno caliphate started running the Almajiri system together. During this precolonial era, students used to stay with their parents for proper moral upbringing. All the schools available then were in a close proximity with the immediate environment of the students. Inspectors were introduced to go round the school and after inspection they report to the emir of the province all the matters regarding the affairs of the school. The schools were funded by the community, parents, zakkah, sadaqqah and sometimes through the farm output of the students.
COLONIAL ERA
The year 1904 brought a new twist to the almajiri system of education, as the British invaded the northern part of Nigeria. During the invasion most Emirs were killed and others were disposed. The remaining emirs lost controls of their territories, this resulted also in the lost of fundamental control of the almajiri. Boko was introduced, boko meaning western education. The British abolished the state funding of almajiri schools. With no support from the community, Emirs and government, the system collapsed. The teachers and students had no financial support, so, they turned to alms begging and menial jobs for survival.
PRESENT DAY
A report by the National Council for the Welfare of the Destitute (NCWD) approximated the number of current almajiri to 7 million.
The system now lacks things like good teachers and basic amenities like proper clothing and shelter. Most of the almajiri do not graduate and are left with the option to do menial jobs.
(Wikipedia)
Taking the Above in to Account, The Almajiri system of Education Was Once the Basic System of education in northern Nigeria with proper funding and over sighting by the authorities.
Today! What we see is different from what is known as the Almajiri of yesterday. The System is not neglected by the authorities but also by the communities.
Outlined blelow is the child rights and protection act of the Nigerian government.

Recruitment into the Armed Forces
UNICEF/2017/Gilbertson
The Challenge
Abuse in all its forms are a daily reality for many Nigerian children and only a fraction ever receive help. Six out of every 10 children experience some form of violence – one in four girls and 10 per cent of boys have been victims of sexual violence. Of the children who reported violence, fewer than five out of a 100 received any form of support. The drivers of violence against children (VAC) are rooted in social norms, including around the use of violent discipline, violence against women and community beliefs about witchcraft, all of which increase children
Only 30 per cent of children under five years were registered at birth. Besides being a ‘first right’ of any child, improved birth registration is critical for national planning and governance functions, and serves as a foundation for achieving progress in wider child protection areas and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.
Solution
UNICEF’s child protection programme aims to provide preventive and response interventions for children who are victims of, or at risk from vioystems.
The programme works across multiple levels and sectors, to generate and analyse evidence for legal reform and increased public financing for children as well as design quality age and gender-specific services. In humanitarian contexts, the programme works with key state ministries and other partners, to ensure that identified children facing protection risks receive integrated case management and referral to specialized services. The programme works at federal, national and focus States of Cross Rivers, Gombe, Lagos, Plateau and Adamawa, Borno and Yobe to implement the priority interventions including.
UNASKED UNANSWERED
The Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of president muhammad Buhari has introduce amd implement the National home grown school feeding program (NHGSFP)
as part of it social investment program ,targeted at feeding millions of children's in Nigeria's primary schools in all parts of the country.
However, the Government and other stakeholders have forget to include the almajiris despite the fact that the almajiris are on every street in every corner of northern Nigeria begging for what to eat and engaging in Menial jobs to survive.
The almajiri's are a childrens of the nation ,they deserve equal rights as every Nigerian child , they deserved the Home grown feeding not those in public schools.
The
Clarion Call
The Almajiri system provide a pool for recruitment in to the various extremist sect, insurgence, banditry and other deadly and criminal organizations. Government and other Stakeholders should either monitor and control affairs of the almajiri system or banished it . As stated in one of facebook posts of The Community Organization "Almajiri is also Child.

WhatsApp to make three huge changes
WhatsApp is used by over a billion people every single day to send messages and share media.
The app is regularly updated by the firm, meaning new features are constantly introduced.
And it appears three new additions are on the horizon, according to WABetaInfo.
is a publication renowned for analysing development and beta builds of WhatsApp in order to gain an insight into forthcoming features.
Here is a list of the three new tools that will be introduce in to the features
Blocked screenshots
This is easily the most controversial of the forthcoming trio; early versions of WhatsApp have shown the firm is working on a new "Authentication" feature for Android that will require the user's fingerprint to be scanned for the app to be opened.
However, a new beta for the software on Android, 2.19.106, has shown this tool will block screenshots from being captured if enabled.
An alert informing the user of the prevention within the app.
WhatsApp update
It seems WhatsApp's Authentication feature for Android will prevent users from taking screenshots
WABetaInfo announced the controversial feature on Twitter and many fans expressed their disappointment in response.
One said: “If someone authenticates it with a fingerprint then why the hell can't they take screenshots?"
Another tweeted: WhatsApp please just focus on the New emojis for Doodle UI
WhatsApp's Doodle UI is incredibly popular and very useful; it allows users to edit photos by adding emojis and drawing on them for instance.
While the emojis offered by the mode were usable, they were certainly inconsistent with the rest of the app.
That is because the icons present in Doodle UI were different to the characters within chats themselves.
However, it appears WhatsApp is changing the emojis within Doodle UI to make them more consistent with the rest of the WhatsApp experience.
The new icons were found in WhatsApp beta 2.19.110 for Android.
Unfortunately, it is unknown when this improvement will debut.

MARRYING FAT WOMAN MAKES A MAN 10 TIMES HAPPIER THAN MARRYING SKINNY
New research: Men who marry chubby women are happier and live longer
According to a new study, men who are in relationships with chubby women tend to smile more and be better at dealing with problems than men who are in relationships with thin women.
The study also shows that thin women tend to be more reserved, more unfriendly and less expressive with their emotions.
The Argentinian newspaper Nuevo Diario reports on the findings from the research conducted by Dr Filemón Alvarado and Dr Edgardo Morales at UNAM’s department of psychology.
According to their research, chubby women make their men ten times as happy as thin women. And we all know that happy people live longer.
The study also indicated that chubby women are better at anticipating their partner’s needs.

RELAX! NPOWER 2016 BENEFICIARIES YOU ARE NOT GOING BACK TO THE STREETS!
Daily Post Nigeria Reports that : presidency lists Buhari’s achievements as first tenure ends,
The presidency on Saturday reviewed some achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In an article titled “Looking back, and looking forward” Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, recalled what his principal promised and fulfilled.
He wrote: “When the government took the reins of power in May 2015, the security of the country was in tatters. Insurgents ran riot, and bombs went off like firecrackers in many parts of the country. North-west, North-east, North-central, including the Federal Capital Territory, were beleaguered. The insurgents were on their way to the southern part, and the whole country would have become history.
“But the tested retired Army General took the war to Boko Haram. Stressing that you can’t efficiently manage a country until you have secured it, he relocated the command centre of the war to Maiduguri, which is the epicenter of the insurgency. Steadily and progressively, the insurgents were beaten back, till they got circumscribed in Sambisa Forest.
“Other theatres of insecurity like kidnapping, armed robbery, attacks by violent herdsmen on farmers, and other civil strifes, are also being addressed. Eventually, calm will suffuse the entire country.
“The economy was comatose in 2015, and it was no surprise that it went into recession the following year. Throw up the hands in resignation and bemoan the tough luck that saw oil prices plunging from above 100 dollars per barrel to below 30 dollars? Not the Buhari administration. It rolled its sleeves, and set to work.
“Massive investments were made in agriculture and infrastructure, so as to jumpstart the economy. And truly, it roared to life, and recession lasted for only a year. The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) was enunciated, launched and vigorously executed, and by the fourth quarter of 2018, things were looking positive.
“Inflation had dropped for more than eleven consecutive months, and the impact was beginning to be felt in the prices of commodities. Importation of rice and other grains had almost stopped completely, and millions of dollars were being saved daily.
“On corruption, there was a new reality in the country. There was a time we’d been told that stealing was not corruption. But behold a new dawn. Every form of stealing was being punished, and all malefactors, both high and low, were being hurled before the courts, and thrown into jail.

The presidency on Saturday reviewed some achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In an article titled “Looking back, and looking forward” Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, recalled what his principal promised and fulfilled.
He wrote: “When the government took the reins of power in May 2015, the security of the country was in tatters. Insurgents ran riot, and bombs went off like firecrackers in many parts of the country. North-west, North-east, North-central, including the Federal Capital Territory, were beleaguered. The insurgents were on their way to the southern part, and the whole country would have become history.
“But the tested retired Army General took the war to Boko Haram. Stressing that you can’t efficiently manage a country until you have secured it, he relocated the command centre of the war to Maiduguri, which is the epicenter of the insurgency. Steadily and progressively, the insurgents were beaten back, till they got circumscribed in Sambisa Forest.
“Other theatres of insecurity like kidnapping, armed robbery, attacks by violent herdsmen on farmers, and other civil strifes, are also being addressed. Eventually, calm will suffuse the entire country.
“The economy was comatose in 2015, and it was no surprise that it went into recession the following year. Throw up the hands in resignation and bemoan the tough luck that saw oil prices plunging from above 100 dollars per barrel to below 30 dollars? Not the Buhari administration. It rolled its sleeves, and set to work.
“Massive investments were made in agriculture and infrastructure, so as to jumpstart the economy. And truly, it roared to life, and recession lasted for only a year. The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) was enunciated, launched and vigorously executed, and by the fourth quarter of 2018, things were looking positive.
“Inflation had dropped for more than eleven consecutive months, and the impact was beginning to be felt in the prices of commodities. Importation of rice and other grains had almost stopped completely, and millions of dollars were being saved daily.
“On corruption, there was a new reality in the country. There was a time we’d been told that stealing was not corruption. But behold a new dawn. Every form of stealing was being punished, and all malefactors, both high and low, were being hurled before the courts, and thrown into jail.
“What shall we say of massive infrastructure works round the country? Roads, bridges, rail, power, and many others. Nigeria had never seen it in that fashion.
“Now, to look forward. What will the Buhari administration do in its second term? Many things, in fact, a basket of goodies. It is a term of consolidation, a term of legacy building, as encapsulated in the Next Level road map. Progress and prosperity for Nigerians at many levels.
“Education will be refocussed, with the curriculum tweaked to place more emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. These will surely launch Nigeria into a new realm, positioning her with the developed world in the not too distant future.
